Hey Talkers, I know some of you here use Boveda Packs or other similar types, and I started trying out this technique to reusing the old dried out packs with great results and thought some of you might find it useful!
I've seen some guides that tell you to soak the packs..but I'm not 100% these packs are really designed to get soaked in that way so this is the process I personally use ;
Step 1 - Purchase or use (if you already own) a cliptop type jar.
Step 2 - Find a glass that will fit inside this jar, and fill it with hot water, (I use boiled water out of the kettle), if you use boiling water make sure the glass is suitable and doesn't crack!..otherwise mix with cold water before filling the glass.
Step 3 - Place the glass inside the cliptop jar, then slip the old dried Boveda packs down either side (or place the packs to the sides then place glass in, whichever is easier for you).
Step 4 - Repeat this process as many times as you wish and over a few days, those dried out packs will become fresh and new again!
I repeat this process with the hot water whenever the condensation inside the glass has disappeared.
I have tested these packs after doing this and I have tested with my humidity meter to confirm they are holding the percentage they are supposed to on the pack
